I agree completely. I think we will be in the running for Wiggins without a doubt. Philly, the Magic. the Suns and Boston will battle it out for the rights to draft the next franchise player. Even if we don't get Wiggins we will get a very good to great player. We could come out of this next draft with more than one great player if the cards were to fall the right way, or Danny trades a couple picks to move up.

The Celts don't have to be the worst team in the league this coming season.

Remember, the Cavs got a supposedly #8 pick from the Clips and Baron Davis for Mo Williams. After the lottery, that supposedly #8 pick turned into the #1 pick that turned out to be Kyrie Irving.

Andrew Wiggins is a franchise player.

There's no way Ainge is not thinking about Wiggins.

It's just stupid to try to make this current Celtics team better just to battle for the 8th seed this coming season.

Ainge is not stupid.

4 teams won less than 26 games last season. If your prediction of 26 wins comes true we will be right there for Wiggins, and don't forget we're due for the ping pong balls to bounce our way. I predict we will win 23 games this coming season. This year less means more for the C's.

True.

The last time the Celts had the #1 pick was back in 1950!

OneOnOne is the only one old enough to remember when old Chuckie played for the Celtics.

Dumb comparison. The Lakers and Celtics are in completely different situations to begin with. The Lakers with Nash, Kobe and Gasol have to win now given their age and needed to few added pieces which may get them in playoff contention. Anything can happen then.

The Celtics are young, inexperienced and are lottery bound no matter how you cut it. It would be stupid for the Celtics to invest in players this year. Danny will observe which players are keepers, which players are compatable with Stevens and his system, and invest in FA after this season. The shallow and uniformed may call it tanking. But its simply intelligent team building.

I don't give a fat rats azz about he Fakers...I only want us in the lottery.....don't care at all about those people in LA...DA is most definitely planning on the lottery or close to it.....Fav is NOT a real center yet not ever having played one second as an NBA center ...DA's vision of the coming year is a lot more close to reality than a few posters here want to acknowledge.

THE DUKE......I guess the Jordan rules now exist in high school.......I'm not sure but did he take three, four, or five steps on that dunk....? ......no doubt that I'd like to see him in a Celtic uniform...!
